There are only 24 super tusk elephants left on Earth.
With tusks weighing a combined 200 lbs or more, these magnificent creatures are kings of the elephant world. Their near-disappearance was due to the hands of humans, yet they managed to survive by hiding deep within the African bush. Their existence today is a testament to the intelligence and resilience of mother nature.
When award-winning photographer and filmmaker Drew Doggett learned about the precarious position of these elephants within the delicate balance of wildlife in East Africa, he decided to search for and document the largest tuskers left on Earth to share their story with the world.
This short film dives into Drew’s expedition, the inspiration for the journey to Kenya, and the making of the accompanying limited edition print series titled Colossal Shadows: Super Tuskers of East Africa. This film also features Tim and Craig who were considered to be the largest two super tusk elephants still roaming the Earth. Due to natural causes, Tim passed away in 2019 a few months after Drew’s visit.
